Summary
The Wasting Time Podcast is joined by Tom Keiger of pop punk favourites Houston Calls. Tom looks back on the band's journey from their early days through to becoming one of the most beloved names in the mid-2000s scene. The conversation dives into the stories behind the albums, life on the road, and the moment Mark Hoppus almost ended up producing the band's second record. The episode also explores what life looks like for Tom today, when the time felt right time for Houston Calls to return, and whether fans can expect new music. Along the way, Tom shares some great memories from touring the UK and reflects on the special relationship Houston Calls has always had with UK audiences. Chris and Nick also find time to discuss new releases from Rufio, Mayday Parade, Uppity and more. Sponsored by Local Menace Apparell.
